Physics Colloquium Oct 29 1998 based on Binary Black Hole (BBH) Computational Grand Challenge |
1. Understand black holes & gravity waves |
2. Learn the Einstein field equations |
3. Convert eqns. To eqns. We evolve numerically |
4. Model these equations on a computer |
5. Modeling black holes |
6. Understand the inner boundary |
7. Understand the outer boundary |
8. Putting it together |
9. Model the elliptic pde's |
10. Build computational infrastructure |
To really model 2 black holes, we better understand the "real" problems!! |
